Chapter 853 Take a Break
Nie Yao and Li Jinxing arrived at the base of their archaeological team. The excavators were still digging hard, and Steve and several other team members were patiently guiding them.
The sun was shining brightly and many workers were sweating. Steve also put a towel on the back of his neck and held a small fan in front of him to blow.
As soon as he saw Nie Yao and Li Jinxing coming over, Steve hurried over and asked with a smile, "Senior, Mr. Li, you're here..."
The two nodded, and Li Jinxing snapped his fingers to the people following behind him, and they put down the iced drinks they were carrying.
"Steve, it's too hot now. Everyone has worked so hard. Let them stop and have some cold drinks to rest!"
Nie Yao whispered to Steve, who nodded quickly and smiled in response. He waved to the diggers and called out, "Everyone, stop for a moment, have some cold drinks and rest, and we'll continue later!"
The excavators quickly put down their hoes and tools and came under the tent, enjoying the fans and drinking ice drinks.
"Steve, I didn't come this morning. Thank you for your hard work..." Nie Yao said this, glanced at the people who were drinking iced drinks, and said to Steve apologetically: "I'm not here, and I still have to trouble you to take care of me!"
"It's not hard at all. I'm the archaeological team member hand-picked by you, Senior Sister!" Steve waved his hand and replied with a smile, "And the fact that I was chosen for this archaeological project is also thanks to you, Senior Sister, isn't it?"
He glanced at Li Jinxing beside Nie Yao, winked, and added with a smile, "Of course, it's also thanks to Mr. Li!"
Nie Yao laughed dumbly, and Li Jinxing also curled his lips slightly, saying in a gentle tone: "Steve, you don't have to be so modest. I know you are Professor Fred's favorite student. I believe in the vision of Professor Fred and your senior sister!"
"Hehe, since Mr. Li has said so, I must fulfill my mission and not let you down!"
Steve patted his chest, pointed at another archaeological team not far away, and said seriously: "Although their archaeological team has many experienced members, I believe we will not lose to them!"
Seeing this, Nie Yao patted his arm and reminded him jokingly, "Steve, you're wrong. We're here to do archaeology, not to compete. The most important thing is the archaeological results, not the progress. We can't ignore some important details in order to speed up the progress!"
"That's right, Senior!" Steve rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. Then, remembering something, he asked, "By the way, Senior, I heard from Professor Fred that you and Mr. Li encountered danger last night and spent the night in the desert?"
Nie Yao nodded slightly and quickly explained the thrilling moment she encountered last night. Steve gasped and said with a look of fear, "Luckily, Mr. Li arrived in time and saved me..."
When he said this, he glanced at Li Jinxing, remembering the unpleasantness they had had before, and he couldn't help but rub his hands and laughed, "I know that husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. Mr. Li and my senior sister had such an unpleasant argument before, but deep down, Mr. Li still cares about my senior sister!"
Nie Yao didn't know how to explain to Steve for a moment. Li Jinxing smiled faintly and said seriously: "Yaoyao deliberately angered me and left in order to protect me. After I understood, I immediately arranged a flight back..."
